At this time we produce an LS1 flexable engine dipstick 1997 & later. The R&D was done on a 98 Camaro. We are seeing more & more dipsticks that are the same on the outer tube but have much longer inner rods. I was looking for some more info on what years are interchangeable. The current dipstick we produce measures 4 1/8" from the area it seats against the block to the full mark. Any other info would be helpfull. Thanks

Could it be the difference between the f-body and corvette oil pan?
